Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Kinglake West (postcode 3757), a small township in the Kinglake Ranges within the Murrindindi Shire, about 60km north-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Kinglake West and neighbouring Kinglake, Humevale, Pheasant Creek and Strath Creek, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Kinglake West is a small ranges township on the western slopes of the Kinglake Ranges, within the Murrindindi Shire and adjacent to the vast Kinglake National Park — one of Victoria’s largest national parks, encompassing over 22,000 hectares of mountain ash and mixed eucalypt forest, fern gullies, waterfalls and walking tracks on the outer edge of Melbourne’s hinterland. The Kinglake communities were among the most severely affected by the February 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, and the recovery journey of Kinglake West and the wider Kinglake community has been one of extraordinary resilience and determination in the face of immense loss. The community spirit in Kinglake West remains strong, centred around the local CFA, hall, pub and the tight-knit bonds forged by shared experience. Kinglake township’s shops, the Kinglake Central School and the famous Kinglake National Park visitor facilities are a short drive to the east. The Whittlesea township provides the full range of services for the western Kinglake area via the Whittlesea-Kinglake Road. Receiving care at home in Kinglake West means staying in this resilient mountain community, close to family and the ranges. Wattletree Health Group‘s home nursing care is tailored to each client’s needs, helping reduce the need for hospital or GP visits while keeping care personal and consistent.
